Squash and Cucumber A-Frame

Short Description

The best method for growing cucumbers and squash.

Full Description

Our cucumber and squash pyramid grows healthier plants with better fruits and easier harvesting. The secret is in allowing the plants to grow off the ground, reducing diseases, pests and poor quality fruits. Powder-coated metal frame unfolds and sets up in minutes, folds down at end of season for easy storage. Each frame is 48" tall and 42" wide. Can be spread to any width.

used for cucumbersI loved growing cukes on this, easy to see them instead of peeking under all the foliage. Not sure if it would work as nicely for squash.

Glad to have this in my gardenI've had my eye on this garden frame since last year. I was looking for a solution to cucumber plants that sprawl all over my garden. I purchased the frame this spring and was pleased with how the cucumber plants were able to grow up the frame instead of in a heap on the ground. When the plants were small, I had to encourage them to take hold of the frame. After that, they continued to grow up the frame. I'm really pleased with this product.

Great frame for a small spaceI bought this for a narrow strip of land that is next to our house that gets direct sunlight. Cucumbers quickly grew up the frame and are producing great. I only wish it was a little taller as the plants are starting to spill over and take over the tomatoes nearby.

Very helpfulWe used these for cucumbers in raised beds last year. 2 frames fit perfectly in our 4x8' beds in our school garden. It made finding the cucumbers so much easier. Right now we're trying to convince the growing cucumbers to grow up the frames. We're trying them for butternut squash this year, too.

A-Frame supportBought this about two years ago. First year used on the zucchini. They did not cooperate, preferring to sprawl along the ground. Last year used for my butternut squash. That was terrific! plants trained to the frame nicely, kept them off the ground, which is good as they take awhile to mature. would definitely recommend this item.

Squash trellisI had hope this would be a space saver but the plant did not grow up on the trellis. The vines only became tangled thickly below it making the squash difficult to get to.

Plants didn't useI bought this frame to try & keep my garden beds tidy. I think they would work if I trained my plants to grow up the trellis. Instead, they have sprawled everywhere and grown up the fencing I have around my garden. I will know for the next season. They still look nice, though.
